With a ceremony at the stunning Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica in downtown Ottawa and a reception at the picturesque L'Orée du Bois in Quebec, their love radiated through every moment.
Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica, a marvel of architectural grace, was the perfect backdrop for the couple's vows.

Each table was exquisitely decorated with delicate floral arrangements and candles that danced in the evening light. Guests were welcomed with heartfelt speeches and shared laughter, adorning the evening with memories that would last a lifetime. Adapting to the circumstances, Pierre and Véronique incorporated unique elements, such as personalized hand sanitizers and thoughtful seating arrangements, ensuring the safety of their loved ones while still maintaining a lively and joyous atmosphere.
